In generalized secretary problems, each candidate is usually evaluated by a single number [1]}.
In voting, numerical evaluations are not very convenient, and simpler types of ballots are typically used. In this paper we assume each voter submits an approval ballot. Deciding whether to approve or disapprove the current candidate is cognitively easy and the landscape of approval-based committee rules (ABC rules) is relatively well understood. We note that in some contexts, the voters can correspond to more abstract objects, such as evaluation criteria or skills.
